This season, as the young cast leans harder into '80s trends (like Eleven's rumoured upcoming perm), Harrington's hair is noticeably longer and messier than the first time around. Along with the new look, his off-putting jock personality has also transformed — and now he's the hunky high school hero looking out for sidekick Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo).

In episode 6, Harrington and Henderson have a Stand by Me moment when the reformed bully gives Henderson a bit of advice about heartbreak and landing a girlfriend. According to Steve's advice, the secret to the game is the hair. "It's Fabergé Organics," Harrington reluctantly explains. "Use the shampoo and conditioner, and when your hair's damp — it's not wet, okay? When it's damp, you do four puffs of the Farrah Fawcett spray."

And suddenly, it all makes sense. By the last episode, Henderson preps for the Snow Ball dance by doing exactly what Harrington suggested: four puffs of the iconically '80s product. So, is that Farrah Fawcett product real? Damn right it was — how else did our mothers get their bangs that big?
